Target has promoted Rich Agostino to CISO, following the departure of Brad Maiorino, who moves to Booz Allen Hamilton's U.S. commercial business. Maiorino, whom Target hired from General Motors to mitigate a major cybersecurity breach in June 2014, hired Agostino from General Electric as his vice president of information security in September 2014.

Rich Agostino, new CISO at Target.
"Rich came to Target in 2014 after spending more than 10 years in information security, technology risk and audit at GE," a Target spokeswoman tells CIO.com via email. "He’s been a member of Brad’s leadership team for more than two years and played a major role in the advancement of Target’s information security program."
The CISO change comes as cybersecurity continues to be a thorn in the side of many IT departments. The Target 2014 breach created a snowball effect as several large corporations, including Home Depot, Sony and Anthem, were penetrated by various attackers using malware and other tactics.
